Bell's Sudden Realization

Bell stared curiously at her younger sister, while reaching out to grab the collar of a small snake sitting next to Shanna, tossing it aside before sitting down herself.

As for whether the little snake will feel dissatisfied?

At this moment, Bell was in no mood to care about so much.

To avoid trouble, while pulling him by the collar, Bell secretly cast a weakened version of the Fear Curse on the little snake, which immediately made the snake, which was about to show its fangs, behave itself.

Are you kidding me? What's with him, a guy, sitting next to his own sister? What's he up to? Huh!?

If he weren't currently busy, Bell wouldn't have let that little snake go so easily. So, just one Fear Curse, and a weakened one at that, was already too lenient on that kid!

Faced with her Gege's questioning, Shanna stammered and said:

"Because when we were at home, my parents said that we shouldn't use the Occlumency when we were transferred to another hospital."

They also said that only by entering the college that best suits them can they grow better.

And... and I'm also very curious about which college I'll be assigned to.

Upon hearing Shanna's explanation, Bell fell silent.

He knew it must have been his own father who did it!

That's absolutely outrageous!

What? You're asking why Bell ignored his mother Elena?

Needless to say, it's because... we can't afford to mess with them!

Just kidding, my mother has an extremely high status in the family, okay?

Seeing her Gege with his head down and not saying a word, Little Shanna thought Gege was angry with her and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

The little girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, which welled up in her big eyes.

"Gege, I'm so sorry!"

Upon discovering that his younger sister was about to cry, Bell immediately forgot about her inner grumbling about her father.

Although I don't know why Shanna... well, actually Bell knows very well why his little sister has become so emotional and so fragile.

Bell knew from the moment Shanna discovered there was a third person in the carriage on the Hogwarts Express, and from the moment Shanna learned that Hermione was his girlfriend.

However, this time, Bell unusually did not respond to her younger sister's expectations. Instead, she chose to ignore them.

Because Bell knew that this moment would eventually come. For both Shanna and for him.

As the saying goes, it's better to be early than late. And Bell believes that he and his sister will definitely overcome this challenge. Because no matter what, they will always be each other's most important family.

Bell gently stroked Shanna's head, placing his hand on hers.

"Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing?"

"But, but I didn't keep my promise to my Gege. I didn't use Occlumency during the Sorting Ceremony, and as a result, I was sorted into Slytherin House."

Shanna said, her voice trembling slightly.

"Shanna, remember, promises must be kept. But!"

Bell turned and stopped Shanna's tears from flowing.

"The matter of the house division was not an agreement between my Gege and Shanna. We didn't agree to anything; it was just that my Gege was simply asking Shanna to do it."

"You know what, Shanna? When he saw you sitting here instead of at the Ravenclaw table, Gege was first shocked, then very disappointed, but mostly relieved."

Bell's lips curled up slightly, forming a warm smile.

"Relieved?"

Little Shanna tilted her head curiously. She didn't quite understand what her Gege meant.

Little Shanna was well aware of the disappointment.

She was very disappointed when her Gege left home alone to attend Hogwarts.

She was extremely disappointed when she learned last summer that her Gege wouldn't be coming home for summer vacation.

She felt a little disappointed when her Gege didn't have time to play with her during the past month.

On the train, when she heard her Gege introduce Hermione as Gege girlfriend, she was... even more disappointed than she had been.

In conclusion, Little Shanna felt she understood loss far better than anyone else. She could even be called a 'Master of Loss'.

However, Little Shanna didn't quite understand her Gege's final expression of "gratification."

Of course, the clever and studious Little Shanna clearly knew the meaning of this word.

However, because she had never experienced this kind of feeling before, Shanna couldn't quite understand why her Gege felt relieved after feeling lost.

"Yes, it's a feeling of relief."

Bell explained patiently.

"Because my Shanna has finally grown up, knows what she wants, and is able to make choices independently."

Thinking about how that little tagalong who used to follow me around has grown into such a beautiful young woman in the blink of an eye, my Gege feels a mix of sadness and immense pride.

"I'm not a little tagalong!"

Shanna pouted in dissatisfaction.

However, from the little girl's slightly swaying body, her flushed face, and the shyness and joy that she couldn't hide in her eyes, it was clear that Shanna was in a very good mood.

"But I still want to stay in the same college as my Gege."

Little Shanna said in a spoiled and willful manner.

Bell didn't blame her younger sister for her willfulness in the slightest.

Just kidding, indulging your sister's whims is Gege's duty, okay?

"No problem, watch your Gege's!"

Bell gave Shanna a thumbs-up, and with a 'ding' sound, a dazzling white light flashed from the corner of Bell grinning mouth, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Bell stood up, took a deep breath, and roared at the professors' seat.

"Professor Snape! I want to transfer to another house!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the Great Hall, and everyone stopped eating, turning to look at Bell with curiosity.

Besides Hermione...

Hermione had lost count of how many times she had wanted to die together with Bell because of her boyfriend's shameful behavior.

"What?"

Snape stared at Bell with a bewildered expression, wondering what this strange kid was up to now.

"Actually, Professor, after reflecting on this for the past two years, I've finally realized how foolish my younger, ignorant self had been when I made such a decision."

Therefore, I have finally realized the truth!

I, Bell Menethil, was born to be in Slytherin House! My body, my soul, even my dandruff, belong to the great Slytherin!

Bell lavishly flattered him in a way that no one would believe.

"No!"

Naturally, Snape flatly and decisively rejected Bell's request.

He doesn't want Bell's dandruff!

"Ahem... Professor, the materials from that snake are negotiable."

Bell gave Snape a knowing look.
